Lori Vallow trial: Full audio of graphic testimonies (April 11)

Описание: Warning for viewers, what was seen and heard was extremely graphic.

Lori sat in court with her arms crossed, looking away from the projector screen on April 11. Two days into the official start of the trial.

Photos were shown of JJ Vallow wrapped in duct tape across his arms and his head with a plastic bag that had to be cut off. Rexburg Police Detective Ray Hermosillo described witnessing the body at the Ada County Coroner’s Office in June 2020 shortly after investigators discovered the remains of JJ and his big sister Tylee.

The jury looked at devastating images, some holding back tears as we saw the shallow graves the kids were buried in and what was left of Tylee’s remains.

Hermosillo says a team of investigators between Rexburg Police and the FBI took turns digging because it was so hard to smell the charred bones and flesh covered in dirt. The detective also took the jury back through the investigation several months prior in late November 2019 when Rexburg Police served a search warrant at Lori’s townhome.

Police found empty closets with hangers and no one inside the apartment. They recovered weapons in the garage including multiple rifles, a handgun, several rounds of ammunition, a ghillie suit and Alex Cox’s passport.

Alex is Lori’s dead brother and alleged co-conspirator along with Daybell. After court adjourned, FOX 10's Justin Lum asked a member of the defense about Lori’s lack of reaction to the graphic evidence.

"I think we’re all human. I think she’s human, as much as that doesn’t get put out there. We all kind of express those things different," said Brandon Hobbs, investigator on Lori's defense team.

Police also found duct tape, rope, magazines, and silencers in Lori’s garage. From what we saw, it appeared Alex Cox stayed in this apartment too because his own unit was vacant.

We expect to hear more of the cross-examination with this detective Wednesday morning. So far through, what we’ve learned, the causes of death for both JJ and Tylee are unknown.
